origami day three

Hello Friends, Welcome to DAY THREE of Mama Elephant  Spring release 2014! Today's ORGAMI stamp set is so so clever & so unique! I thought it would be kinda cool to use one of the stamps in a geometric way by repeating it 4 times including upside down. What do you think? If you missed the first few days you can see day1 here day2 here.  MY FAVORITE CARDS that I created for the release were on this day just in case you might have missed them?


Use the brush tip of a marker (I used a Copic marker) and "feather" with short wispy strokes to create a neat look on the stamped image. Start with the lighter color first and repeat with the darker color.

Green feathering was added to the corners then I added white dots on the black lines with my all time favorite white gel pen. I always suggest to warm the tip on your finger of the white pen to get it started. Works like a charm. :)

Wink of Stella's clear glitter pen/marker was added to the hearts and when it's dry I added glossy accents. The beautiful green edge is from this "Postage" die cut from Simon Says Stamp. The Mama Elephant blog is filled with lots of beautiful cards from the "Origami"stamp set so click here to see all the cards from the design team. Thanks again to Mama Elephant for letting me join in with their release this week.  Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy

Stop in tomorrow for a Simon Says Stamps Spring Release Blog Hop.

Kathy, love how you used this stamp set and adding the glossy accents makes the heart shape look like a gem. Very clever. I can see why the bunnies and heart are your favourite, they are mine as well. Great card
